After dressing as a widow

Lin Zhen said to Deputy Qianhu: "Qianhu, are those villagers brought back by you?"

Deputy Qianhu, who just felt that he had lost his chance, nodded: "Their village is not far from Luoran County, and the snowstorm is severe. If they are not brought to the county for half a month, none of them will be alive."

"How many of the surrounding villages, Qianhu, have you been to?"

Deputy Qianhu still felt that this husband was good-looking and courageous, and the other ladies and brothers shook like sparrows at him, and he could speak fluently.

"Go to three, there are still people, except for some hunger and cold, they are all good."

Lin Zhen heard that there were people in the village who were not covered under the snow like that small village, and said, "Can you trouble the people under Qianhu to go to the village and bring a message to the people, saying that there is food here in the county? They can come here and get some."

"Latura is here, and it's a waste to pile it up here."

Deputy Qianhu looked at Lin Zhen, and when he thought of someone he already liked, he patted his chest, it was a pity, what a pity, he also liked such a husband very much.

Cough cough, how about digging around?

Deputy Qianhu readily agreed: "It's a matter of convenience. When I get back, I will ask someone to go to the village to inform people, and by the way, I will also notify the village I am going to."

"Can the food in Fu Lang's hand last?"

"Don't worry, thousands of households have brought a lot, and the relief food from the state government office will arrive in a few days. My food is just to make them feel better before the relief food arrives."

"It's fine if Fulang succeeds," Deputy Qianhu looked at Lin Zhen who had arranged the matter, "Then I'll go there first, and Fulang will see you later."

"Qianhu walk slowly."

"Oh, Fu Lang doesn't need to see you off. I take a long step, and I took two steps. You can't keep up."

"..." Lin Zhen looked at the iron tower that had moved out, and asked the little official, "This Lord Qianhu from Lizhou..."

The little official smiled, "Master Qianhu has a straightforward temperament, and a straightforward temperament."

"It's quite straightforward." Lin Zhen echoed, and then looked at me and I looked at you with the little official, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere.

Lin Zhen turned around and walked into the house, and asked the little official: "Have you eaten, sir? If you haven't eaten, why don't you share it? I just cooked some sorghum porridge and warmed up a box of canned meat."

As soon as the little official came, he went to the deputy Qianhu to report, but naturally he didn't eat. If he hadn't responded to Lin Zhen's words before, he was afraid of causing Lin Zhen to gossip.

But compared with Deputy Qianhu, he felt that it was nothing to get some food from Lin Zhen, "I haven't eaten yet, please trouble Boss Lin, I'll just eat here."

Lin Zhen looked at the sky standing outside the door, knowing that he didn't want any gossip between the two of them, so he nodded, went to the room, took out another clean bowl, and poured it full of sorghum Rice porridge, put half of the canned pork head on top, and serve it to the little official.

"Thank you, Boss Lin." It was great to have a mouthful of warm food in this weather, and the clerk took the bowl to the room that his subordinates had cleaned up, and was going to send the bowl back to Lin Zhen after eating.

And the sergeant sent by Deputy Qianhu braved the heavy snow and arrived at the village that had been searched before, "Is there anyone, is there anyone?"

The sergeant patted the simple door of the first house in the village, and the people in the house carefully looked outside through the gap in the window, and found that it was the Lizhou sergeant who had been here yesterday, so they hurriedly opened the door: "Master, come in and sit down." , I didn’t know you guys came back…”

Luo dye is rich in a dye called Luo dye, which can dye a very bright blue color. Except for farm work, almost all the people here make a living from Luo dye.

But last year, the Cheluo Kingdom was raging, and this year the snow came early, so the harvest was really bad, and every household didn't have much food.

If these soldiers still want to requisition food for food and grass, they really don't know how to survive.

The soldier looked at the couple who were wearing tattered and unknown animal skins in the door, and said: "The adults above have ordered that a kind-hearted person transport some grain to Luoran County, and people in the village can get some grain." , distributed according to the population, [-] catties for adults and [-] catties for children."

The couple, who were chilled by the cold wind, looked at the sergeant in a daze, thinking they had heard wrong.

There is actually food in Luoran County that can be obtained, and it was brought by some kind-hearted people.

If it hadn't been for the sergeant who said it, they wouldn't have believed a word of it.

The sergeant who could barely write a few words took out the booklet, shook his stiff hands, "Call out all your family members, and I will count how many people there are. You distribute food."

"Yes, yes," the two husbands and wives finally believed, and called out the children and the elderly at home, "Little Zhou Xiaozheng, come out quickly, and write down your names for the military men."

The children who were hidden in the house by the couple, as well as the children's grandparents, all came out.

The sergeant counted, including their husband and wife, a total of four adults and three children.

The oldest child is only seven or eight years old, and the youngest is two years old.

After memorizing the name, the sergeant said: "We have to go and inform other people in your village. The snow is heavy and the road is difficult to walk. It is best to go with the people in the village."

"Master Jun," the man watched helplessly as he wrote down his family's name on the paper, "Really, do you really have food?"

"Yes, I just pulled it in yesterday. With such a small family, you can weigh about a hundred catties. You can carry it in a basket."

"Thank you, Mr. Jun, thank you, Mr. Jun." He got an affirmative answer several times, and the man was overjoyed.

The sergeant had to inform other families, left without speaking to them, and knocked on the door of the next house.

"Master, what's the matter?"

The two sergeants counted the population of this family according to the procedure just now, and went on to the next family.

The two families were very close, watching the sergeant knocking on the door of the next family, the family whose name had just been registered ran to the first house at the entrance of the village: "Guan Er, Guan Er, did those military masters go to your house too?" , Let your family go to the county to get food?!"

"Yes, are you going?"

"Go, why don't you go? These military masters don't seem to be lying. My family is really out of food. The little food left is only enough for two or three days. The children are so hungry that they can't open their eyes." Even if it is a lie, they can only believe it once.

"Then let's wait, wait until the other family members have registered their names with the military master and then leave."

On a very cold day, the people who walked out of the room were getting more and more right, all talking about the military master telling them to go to the county to collect food.

The couple who were first questioned each carried a basket. They walked out and said to the old man at home: "Father, mother, you two old people are watching the children at home. We will go and carry the food and come back."

No matter men, women, young or old, their bodies are all thin, and they become even thinner in winter, which is a bit scary to look at.

But people in the village are used to it. In order to save food in winter, they eat coarse grain porridge every three to five days, and a bowl of rice with a large pot of water to drink enough water.

The neighbors who had been waiting outside for the couple saw them coming out, and hurriedly walked with them towards the village team. There were more than 20 families in their village, and there were two or three people in one family, and four more. Carry food in the city of Ran County.

The eldest son of the village chief walked in the front with a basket on his back, "Let's go to Luoran County."

The two sergeants were in charge of counting the village. They didn't expect them to go so fast, so they went back with them.

The snow reaches a little below the thighs of people, and when they step on it, there will be a hole. The people walking in front are the most useless, and they have to step on the road with one foot. The people behind are more relaxed, and the road they walk is trampled Slightly shallower snow.

So the people in the village and the two sergeants came in rotation, every half an hour.

Finally, three hours later, they arrived at Luoran County.

The villagers hardly came to Luoran County except to buy salt and some necessities. Now when they saw the patrolling soldiers in the county, they lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look more.

Lin Zhen borrowed the subordinates of the small officials who had nothing to do after the delivery of food and grass, and asked them to help him maintain order and distribute the food to these villagers.

He was also standing in front of a sack of grain that had been opened, holding a large bowl for scooping grain in his hand, and a man next to him was holding a scale.

Not long after, the villagers who had been arranged according to the order on the registration list came forward, and Lin Zhen heard the name of this person: "Guan Dayong?"

"Yes, I'm Guan Dayong, and this is my wife."

Lin Zhen asked the sergeant holding the roster: "How many people are there in Guan Dayong's family?"

"Four adults and three children." The sergeant said loudly.

Lin Zhen nodded, and said to Guan Dayong who was a little at a loss and his eyes fell on the grain bag: "Open your bag."

"Thank you Fulang, thank you Fulang." Guan Dayong didn't feel real until he saw the food, and his hands were shaking.

He took out the sack that had been mended many times in the pannier, and his wife, who was standing next to him, quickly unfolded the sack.

Lin Zhen scooped grain into it bowl by bowl, sixty catties for four adults, 24 catties for three children, a total of 84 catties.

Before they came, Lin Zhen used a scale to weigh the approximate weight of a bowl of grain, and after estimating that it was about the same, he asked the people around him to weigh it with their pockets hooked: "Is it too much or too little?"

"No more, no less, just right." Said the sergeant who weighed the food.

He conveniently put down the sack containing the grain and took it aside: "Your family's grain has been weighed and can be taken away."

Guan Dayong hurriedly took his wife to put the food aside, and then thought that the snowy road was slippery, and divided them into two bags, Guan Dayong carried more, and his wife carried less.

As soon as they left, the second family on the register came.

Seeing with his own eyes that his neighbor Guan Dayong's family really got the food, the three members of Niu Zhong's family couldn't help but tiptoe to watch behind them. When it was their turn, they blushed with excitement.

"Niu Zhong?"

Lin Zhen asked: "There are eleven people in the family?"

"Yes sir."

The sergeant who weighed Lin Zhen said: "Boss Lin is not an adult, but a kind person who brought the grain to Luo Ran this time. These grains are not cheap anywhere."

The food that had just been packaged, and those who were about to get the food, and the people in the queue all looked at Lin Zhen after hearing the words.

Lin Zhen hurriedly weighed the food to Niu Zhong's family, "I don't know when it will snow this day, so hurry home with the food."

"Thank you Fulang."

"Fu Lang's merit is immeasurable."

"Fulang, from now on, every new year and festival in my family, I will ask my ancestors to make a wish for a long life for you."

"..."

One by one, the villagers got the food for the whole family, [-] catties for adults and [-] catties for children, not much, but it was still an income. At least for the time being, they could stop staring at the bottom of the grain and feel panicked and helpless.

Lin Zhen scooped up bowl after bowl of grain, and the sergeant next to him also weighed bag after bag. Like them, the clerks and military officers standing in front of the grain bags were also busy, watching the sky turn into night, The line is getting longer and longer.

I went around to inform that the sergeants were slowly rushing back. I couldn't wait, and more and more villagers came to Luoran County with me.

Seeing that the sky was going to be completely dark soon, Lin Zhen rubbed his wrists and palms, and said to the sergeant: "Tell them to come here today, and start again at dawn tomorrow, don't worry, don't panic, there is still plenty of food. "

After standing for a long time, Lin Zhen's feet were sore and limp. He walked up to the little official in the voice of the people who were a little flustered, afraid that he would not get food, but was quickly appeased by the sergeant, and said, "Ask the people below to get some food." For food, let’s cook a few pots of porridge and distribute it to the people who came to receive the food, the weather is too cold, it’s easy to freeze if there’s nothing in their stomachs, and they wear thin clothes.”

"Row."
